ORIGINAL: wickedsdesires I didn't know that. The History of that region is soo complicated. I have a basic grasp of everything WW1 onwards. Prior to that skip back 50 years a pop and the maps of Europe change substantially. I recently watched Hitler's Circle of Evil. It was as terrifying as it was excellent. I also see parables with the likes of Trump and Putin. I could go on about BoJo and Farage all day. I remember the majority of the conversations being about America cos they are the world. I don't remember Merkel ever coming up on here. Were you a fan? I loved her eyeball roll at Putin. What happened to her? Merkel Eye Roll No one started a discussion on Mad Vlad Putin. I can never work out why he invaded Ukraine. Anyone? Dictators always grow madder and paranoid. It could be something as simple as that. I include trump in this category. The easiest way I can sum up BoJo is that he is a dangerous fucking idiot (he really is) with a Churchillian complex. He used to be a remainer blnymph Me?-A fan of Angela? Not really. But I felt relieved when the various empty heads of states rejoiced in spreading their madnesses that she did her best (?) try stay comparatively sane and reasonable. As far as visible publicly now (she stays out of the media) she is a happy pensioner now and having a good time. Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin is a another matter. He - in difference to some others - appears to be fairly intelligent, but even more ruthless than many. My guess is he has successfully studied how to pull strings in the background over the years and make some others dance. His pro-Russia aggression is just one matter, it worked to bow Georgia, Moldavia, and the Ukraine until 2014 to accept his ideas of influence over them. His failure to get his tanks to Kijv within a fortnight has, so far, not really affected his plans. Now, in the meantime, he made clear who decides about what in the Caucasus-whether the Armenians control the Nagornyi Karabach or the Azeris. So his pulling strings still works nicely for him, I guess. And his orangehead still popular, and not in jail? Maybe elected again? Who cares about champagne - krimskoye for all. One of the basic questions for us post-war Germans always was: "How was all this possible?" I can understand your associations rather well. What goes on in the US feels a lot like Germany in 1923 ... and then there was 33. History repeating itself??
